Yolanda Del Rio (born Yolanda Jaen López on May 27 in Pachuca, Hidalgo) is a Mexican Ranchera singer.

Born the youngest daughter of 4 children, she was inspired at a young age by famous golden age Ranchera singers Lola Beltrán, Lucha Villa, or Amalia Mendoza played on the radio. Yolanda began voice training at a very early age to become a singer and with her trademark melancholic wailing style, she would eventually become one of the most prominent Ranchera singers of the 1970s and 1980s.
